My path

It was not until the middle of my life (in my early 40s) that I decided to complete training as a psychotherapist. I grew up in Carinthia, and after pursuing Scandinavian and German studies in Vienna, I spent many years of my adult life abroad, including in England, Denmark, Belgium and Germany.

Beruflich war ich neben meiner Arbeit als Psychotherapeutin in einem internationalen und universitären Umfeld zu Hause. Mit Anfang 40 habe ich für mich erkannt, dass ich einen Pol meiner Persönlichkeit vernachlässige und beruflich zu einseitig lebe. Deshalb habe ich mich auf die Reise gemacht, um für diesen anderen Pol, der nicht mehr unterdrückt werden wollte, seine Daseinsberechtigung zu finden.

For me, this path has allowed me to discover sides of myself that are more diverse and complex than were evident on my original path. Since I have gotten to know this side of myself and acknowledged it, also not neglecting the other side, but using its strengths too, I recognize that life strives for a balance in which the poles that make you can be seen and experienced, allowing you to become the person you really are.
